And girls, would you ask a guy to marry you?
Cause apparently over 90% of people still stick to the traditional 'guy-asks-girl' and I just don't get that.
P.S. If you're LGBT pretend you're straight. |

I'm pretty sure a girl isn't supposed to propose.

Why does it bother you that people prefer tradition?
Tradition is not an evil, and it should stop being treated as such. |

So apparently around half OT are pretty willing to break traditional marriage/gender roles. Most of my research elsewhere suggested even liberals would frown at the idea of a girl proposing and a guy accepting. (One person even thought it'd lead to a "matriarchal goddes society" where men are slaves and male infants are killed).
So yeah, OT is cooler than I thought.
@TimeDrFreeman Mass Effect ftw. But yeah, I like the 3.0, it grew on me even though I intially used it for laughs.
@Baltoh Cause, um, society will stagnant if we don't change. I mean, foot binding used to be tradition in China, and look how that turned out. Or for a christian reference, it was tradition that resulted in Jesus Crist's death. Gallileo defied tradition (said that the Earth wasn't the center of the universe), and he was punished for it despite being correct.
Reliance on tradition results in a white and black world. Tradition is acceptable, but only if it's not rigid and unchanging.
But in terms of this topic, I think it's a silly rule that women can't propose and men have to. It's not a pressing issue, but still one I think should change eventually. |

You seem to think tradition is the antithesis to change, but it's not. They can exist collaterally. Change can take place within tradition. And, let's be real here, those are some pretty extreme examples in comparison to proposals. I can't think of any negative effects that come of men uniformly proposing to women, unless a woman simply wishes to assume that role herself. And in this day and age, she can.
And, make no mistake, no tradition that overstays its welcome is static, but dynamic rather. This is because the next generation finds it useful, and they adapt it to their evolved culture. Consider the age old tradition of a man laying his coat over a puddle for his better half to walk on. This one has died out in part because it's no longer useful (when you consider the roots of this tradition, it explains why it's no longer needed). Yet men still might help their sweethearts over the puddle, or even carry them over if they feel the need.
Traditions are a lot more dynamic than you think.
"But in terms of this topic, I think it's a silly rule that women can't propose and men have to. It's not a pressing issue, but still one I think should change eventually."
It's hardly a rule anymore. Only a handful of people will actually snub you for proposing to a man. It's just unconventional for a woman to propose, but can still be done. |

| I honor your opinion of course, and I appreciate that you can see some good in tradition. Most people who are adamant against tradition tend to demonize it as something awful and corrosive. |

what if i just said "i don't want to be in a relationship b/c i'm not ready for it" because that's legitimately how i'd feel if i were proposed right now
but if i were older (around 25 or more) and i was in a relationship then of course |

i know, i'm one of those people who would friendzone someone. go ahead and shun me. i just think that it's really unnecessary. i know of nobody who can even relate to me in terms of what i do on a daily basis, let alone a girl. i'd also rather do really good in school so i can get a well-paying job in the future and i won't have to worry about not enough money. |

| To answer the original question, though, I would still say yes if I felt anything for her. I may be an apologist for tradition, but I can still adapt. |
